The Q-Dropped Podcast: Recent Episodes
Courtney & John Simmonds
Stories of Families Ripped Apart by Qanon.When the covid-19 vaccines began to roll out in Canada, my brother and I made a concerning discovery: my parents had bought into the Qanon conspiracies. What ensued was two months of arguing in email, just trying to get them to get vaccinated. They are both in their 70s, and our father has had some medical issues that caused concern when the pandemic began. It was crucial to get them vaccinated. In an unexpected turn of events, after months of arguing, they finally agreed. I went with them, and I witnessed them both get vaccinated. They insisted that they finally realized the conspiracy theories had duped them, and all seemed to be well again. But, at the beginning of 2022, my brother noticed that our parents had drained several of their investment and banking accounts.When he confronted them, it became clear: they were deeper into Q than ever before. We don't know where the money is or the full extent of the conspiracy theories they have accepted, but we do know one thing: the people who raised us are gone. In their place are two strangers and a lot of hurt. I have decided to funnel this sadness and anger into a project to raise awareness about what Qanon is doing to families and relationships. Qanon is everywhere. In every country. They could be your family, your friends, your neighbours. They could be your lawyers, your doctors, or your police officers. They can even be your elected representatives. But what no one is talking about is how they are destroying relationships. They are Qanon, and these are the stories of the people who love them.
In this episode, we speak to Matt Fodor, a political scientist and author in Ontario. He tells us the story of his friend, a former candidate for mayor of Toronto, who was a left wing political activist who was rapidly sucked down the QAnon rabbit hole in a matter of weeks. Saron Gebresellassi is now the in-house lawyer for the United People of Canada or TUPOC, and Matt has lost his friend.

Jordan’s brother was convinced the United States was under attack. His whole family humoured his brother as he plotted to take them to Israel on a boat to escape this fate. They figured that when the attack didn’t happen, Jordan’s brother would realize he was wrong. That didn’t happen. What happened instead is like a twist from an M. Knight Shyamalan movie.

I met Elaine after I gave my talk in Calgary. She’d come to hear what I had to say and afterward, she told me her family’s story. When I heard what she had to say, I knew I needed to have her on the podcast. Elaine and her sister Emma join me to talk about why their parents haven’t met their grandaughter and why they had to go to Mexico to experience, “real clouds.’

In this episode, Luan talks to us about his harrowing upbringing by a father who was so wrapped up in conspiracy theories and later, QAnon, that he neglected his childrens’ medical needs and forced our guest to go to conversion therapy after he came out as gay.
Trigger warnings: homophobia, child abuse, neglect, transphobia and racism.

Kurt is an artist who makes a living creating beautiful works with his hands. In 2002, he met the love of his life, but after a whirlwind romance, life led them down separate paths. Over a decade later, they met again and their passion was reunited. What ensued was a mutually supportive, respectful and loving relationship until one day, she became convinced that Kurt was a demon dead set on her destruction.
This is easily the most shocking episode we’ve done to date and our jaws were on the floor as we sat through this interview. We hope you hear Kurt’s story of his QAnon ex-girlfriend and hear his appeals for healing because things with QAnon are truly getting out of control.

Stories of relationships torn apart by Qanon.
It feels like every family has one. They might be your parents, your siblings, your cousins, and your friends. They might be your teachers, your police officers, and your lawyers. They could even be your elected representatives. We watched them storm the capital of the United States. We saw them occupy Ottawa. But what no one is talking about is how they’re destroying relationships.
They are QAnon, and these are the stories of the people who love them.
